abstract: identification of spatial-temporal anomalies sea level pressure in part of northern hemisphere was the main aim in this research. for this purpose six hourly data used from the to eastern longitude and to northern latitude. in this location, there are 825 pixels to geographical degree. therefore, database extent created. in this matrix, 825 are number of the pixels at that location an...

Context. Using Greenwich sunspot data for 120 years it was recently observed that activity regions on the Sun’s surface tend to lie along smoothly changing longitude strips 180◦apart from each other. After critique of the original paper, the new arguments were found to substantiate the claim. Aims. In this paper we analyse new arguments in some detail. Methods. To check basic arguments about pe...

All residents of Kumejima Island, Japan, located in southwestern Japan (eastern longitude, 126° 48'; northern latitude, 26° 20'), 40 years or older were asked to undergo a comprehensive questionnaire and ocular examination, includi...

The geographic distribution of genetic variation reflects trends in past population migrations and can be used to make inferences about these migrations. It has been proposed that the east-west orientation of the Eurasian landmass facilitated the rapid spread of ancient technological innovations across Eurasia, while the north-south orientation of the Americas led to a slower diffusion of techn...

In reinforcement learning, we often define goals by specifying rewards within desirable states. One problem with this approach is that we typically need to redefine the rewards each time the goal changes, which often requires some understanding of the solution in the agent’s environment. When humans are learning to complete tasks, we regularly utilize alternative sources that guide our understa...

In low nutrient alpine lakes, the littoral zone is the most productive part of the ecosystem, and it is a biodiversity hotspot. It is not entirely clear how the scale and physical heterogeneity of surrounding catchment, its ecological composition, and larger landscape gradients work together to sustain littoral communities. A total of 113 alpine lakes from the central Pyrenees were surveyed to ...
